Henk van der Kwast, Chief Executive Officer:
“Since March 2016, Stern has been working on a new and clearly formulated strategic plan that builds on the direction we took several years ago of transformation from a large dealer holding company to an integrated and highly profitable mobility group with an increasing range of our own products and services. The essence of this new plan is the shift of focus from operating car dealerships to offering mobility solutions and services and a conscious choice for more autonomy and less dependency. If the new strategic plan is implemented with vigour and discipline, supported by a sophisticated online proposition, the plan can significantly increase Stern’s EBITDA in the years to come. We see a doubling of the current level by 2020 as a distinct possibility. Around a third of the increase will have to come from cost savings and synergy benefits. Around two thirds will have to come from More Solutions and Services.”
